Round two;

We've got a new lead russian translator, Alexey Chumakov (achumakov).

Feel free to harass him, make him tell you dirty words in russian, and 
make 'em do a bit of work in addition.

Some background info provided from him- 

I am 30. I was born in Kiev, Ukraine, and now live in Moscow.
Russian is my mother-tongue. I am married almost 12 years, and we live 
together with our beautiful 10-years-old daugher.

I am spinning in a computer world over 20 years. Grew up with Amstrad
and DEC MicroVAX, Atari, Commodore and Russian EC (IBM 360 clone). 
Then moved to PC and Mac, _but_ at that time completely missed Unix/Linux 
world as I had to lead some L10N projects then was CIO for the large 
non-IT company. Now I am the head of IT outsourcing department for 
Russian system integrator.

Localization is rather my hobby together with the applied linguistics,
usability and psychology.

Since K. Arkhipov ([14]voxus@gentoo.org) had installed Gentoo 2004.3 
on my home desktop (it was a Christmas joke ;), I am in fact reviving 
the GDP Russian branch to promote Gentoo Linux to the Russians and to 
learn it myself while maintaining docs translation ;-)

Everyone give Alexey a warm welcome.
